I will be heading to Lahinch for 26-29 June. Can anyone give any info on the area. Where is bait available, likely species and areas to fish. Any info will be appreciated.

Thanks guys,
I will buy the mag even though I said I would never touch it again. I find I only read about a quarter of the stuff, skip through another quarter and dont bother with the rest. I'm sure you can guess what I read.

Love Lahinch..! Fish morning and evening and surf all afternoon. Bliss..! Sandeel works well as does lug. Crab if you can get it.
